Thanks. But, I have already read these 2 posts. I think I have not put my question correctly. Let me rephrase. Actually, I want to know the different words which are normally used in a typical shell game trap answer. Is there a compendium containing words that are generally used in GMAT to make an answer choice qualify as a Shell Game trap? If no, could you please tell me some of the words (e.g. probably & possibly, as mentioned in the LSAT link) which I can use to eliminate the answer choices that have this trap.

Thanks for the post! Yes that's true - knowing the concept, & applying the correct approach are primary. Was just curious to know if there are some tricks too, that can help me to guess the answers in hard questions, when just 5-6 minutes are left in the exam.
